Worktop repair for Martin homes

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

About our worktop repair in Martin

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for chips on edges and corners and damage around the sink cut-out, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Keep wood oiled

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Martin. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlord and trade work in Martin

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Martin. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole worktop

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SP6 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Martin

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
